Starfire

Earth has been ravaged by galactic disaster--but the real devastation is yet to come.

The year is 2053, and Earth has barely recovered from the Alpha Centauri supernova that destroyed much of the planet's infrastructure. Now the supernova's residual effect--a storm of high-energy particles--is racing toward Earth, and an international effort has been launched out of the Sky City space colony to save the planet. But the controversial plan--to build a giant protective shield for Earth--is falling dangerously behind schedule. A series of unexplained murders has disrupted the Sky City workforce, so much so that a brilliant but monstrous criminal has been enlisted to track down the Sky City killer.

Then comes more startling news. Evidence indicates that the original supernova was caused deliberately, and that the lethal particle storm will arrive sooner than anyone expected. But who--or what--tried to destroy the Earth? And will the answer come in time to save it from its final apocalypse?

Baker & TaylorEarth's nearest stellar neighbor had exploded fifty years earlier, raining radiation down on the planet and setting back the technological age by a century, but a new storm is approaching from the new star that may not be natural. Original.

Baker & TaylorIn 2053, after the Earth has barely recovered from the supernova that has destroyed much of the planet's infastructure, a new threat emerges when a storm of high-energy particles is racing to destroy the planet and it is revealed that the original supernova may have been deliberately sent to destroy the Earth
